Synopsis: After faking their deaths to escape from prison, Ember Miller and Chase Jennings have only one goal: to lay low until the Federal Bureau of Reformation forgets they ever existed. Near-celebrities now for the increasingly sensationalized tales of their struggles with the government, Ember and Chase are recognized and taken in by the Resistance—an underground organization working to systematically take down the government. At headquarters, all eyes are on the sniper, an anonymous assassin taking out FBR soldiers one by one. Rumors are flying about the sniper's true identity, and Ember and Chase welcome the diversion…. Until the government posts its most-wanted list, and their number one suspect is Ember herself. Orders are shoot to kill, and soldiers are cleared to fire on suspicion alone. Suddenly Ember can’t even step onto the street without fear of being recognized, and “laying low” is a joke. Even members of the Resistance are starting to look at her sideways. With Chase urging her to run, Ember must decide: Go into hiding…or fight back?
Review: I actually had a hard time finding what I didn't like about this book. But the major tip off that I didn't like it was the fact that it took me over a week to finish it. It just didn't grab my attention. So after finishing, I sat where I was for a moment and thought about why this book was not as amazing as the book.
I finally concluded that there wasn't enough focus on the main characters' romantic relationship. Sure, there were romantic parts present, but not as much as I was hoping for.
I don't think I'd recommend this to anyone since it wasn't very interesting.
